Help!!! How to fix??

[routeman71]

Any clue how to fix this?

Best, easiest, and cheapest way is to find another water pump housing. They aren't too hard to find.

Just make sure the inlets and outlets are in the same place on the one you get.

In the mean time, you can "nut and bolt" (with a flat washer for help) on the broken side, probably. IF you have the broken-off piece, perhaps some 2-part epoxy (J-B Weld or similar) can put things back together long enough to keep the vehicle operational?

Just some thoughts,

Yes you want a 1967-1972ish Water pump housing. Most mopar guys have a few sitting around. Run a wanted ad locally.

Forget the JB weld, waste of time here.

The JB Weld will work perfectly......until you try to tighten that bolt.

See yellow circle, a bolt behind the water pipe. Leave the water pipe in place and use and open end wrench to remove it from the engine. Leave one bolt on the other side just a few turns in, then remove the circled bolt.

Thanks all. Was able to get the water pump housing replaced!
